Short Description: "Leo II (Greek: Λέων, Leōn; 469 – November 474), nicknamed "the Younger" or "the Small" (Greek: ὁ μικρός, translit. ho Mikrós), was briefly Roman emperor in 474 when he was a child aged six or seven. He was the son of Zeno, the Isaurian general and future emperor, and Ariadne, a daughter of the emperor Leo I (r. 457–474), who ruled the eastern Roman empire. Leo II was made co-emperor with his grandfather Leo I on 17 November 473, and became sole emperor on 18 January 474 after Leo I died of dysentery. His father Zeno was made co-emperor by the Byzantine Senate on 29 January and they co-ruled for a short time before Leo II died ten months later." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021)
